Katsuyu large slugs that have survived for over a thousand years, from the time of Kaguya to the present day.
Just how big is it? Tsunade and Sakura together can only summon a part of its body each time.
It's still that tiny portion.
Even Kyosuke today might not be able to break through the limitations of space and time to summon a being the size of a Planet.
In terms of fighting ability, it is far inferior to Toad and Great Serpent; the Katsuyu's true skill lies in healing.
No, to be precise, it can amplify the characteristics of the caster.
Even when separated by thousands of miles, the Katsuyu clones can accurately transmit the caster's Chakra, creating different effects such as healing, attack, and defense.
In Kyosuke's opinion, if the effect of producing fruit is not considered, the giant Katsuyu is actually far more practical than the Ten-Tails slug.
Only it can be distributed to various Planet, continuously drawing the Natural Energy needed by the Six Paths from the earth and plants.
Bending down, Kyosuke picked up a small Katsuyu that was trying to escape, placed it in his palm, and smiled as he examined it closely, "I must say, this little thing is quite unique in appearance."
The poor little guy almost died of fright when his eyes rolled back.
"Oh no, I'm going to be eaten!" The little Katsuyu immediately wilted.
Humans are terrifying, especially those with red eyes.
The guy from back then was much better; he spoke gently and seemed to have a good temper.
This little Katsuyu is the very one that led Hashirama to his lair Hashirama he first entered Shikkotsu Forest.
In order to keep the secrets of the Six Paths, the Great Slug Sage usually deliberately severs the memories of individual beings when splitting them into separate entities.
It wasn't a seal, but rather a complete severing of the memory. At least Kyosuke, who used the Rinnegan, only saw the day the little Katsuyu split from its original form.
There's nothing left beyond that.
"Little one, do you want to come outside with me?" he asked with a smile.
"Huh..." Upon hearing this, the little Katsuyu instantly straightened its body, its white tentacles on its forehead twitching, looking extremely cute.
It was obvious that it was interested.
"Then it's settled." He used Sealing Jutsu to block its senses, opened Space Passage, and threw it directly into Yayoi's Laboratory.
From this day forward, regardless of victory or defeat, the giant Katsuyu will essentially disappear completely from the Shinobi World.
It would be such a waste to throw away such a great tool, Kyosuke thought, why not try to copy and remake it?
Anyway, the little Katsuyu has no connection with the original body, so at worst we can use it as a model to create a new Slug Sage belonging to Konoha.
That ability to freely transfer Chakra properties will definitely be of great help in the future.
Putting aside other factors, the Katsuyu can at least be used as a location coordinate.
Otherwise, in the vast universe, if you really get lost, you might never be able to find your way back.
Feeling he had gained a great deal, Kyosuke smiled and looked up at the enormous, sky-covering figure.
"This height already surpasses that of the Great Buddha and the Complete Form Ten-Tails by quite a bit, doesn't it?" he remarked with slight admiration.
Katsuyu can transform into countless forms; heaven knows on which Planet they left behind the seeds of revival.
The idea of annihilating them is pure fantasy; all Kyosuke can do is ensure the Ten-Tails has a good meal.
The goal is simply to reach the point where he can form the Chakra Fruit, and incidentally help him advance to the Six Paths High Tier realm.
In that case, Kyosuke could leave at his leisure, search for the Planet that nurtured life, and ignite the divine fire that could rekindle his mortal body.
"Human, what are you doing in my Shikkotsu Forest?" the Great Slug Sage asked.
Unlike its adorable clone, its true form is majestic and exudes the most traditional air of a celestial being.
Looking down at the drooling Ten-Tails, Kyosuke chuckled and replied, "Don't you know what I want to do?"
"You'd better lie down quietly, or you'll regret it when the Ten-Tails gets angry."
Kyosuke in the typical tone of a wealthy young master, while the Ten-Tails beneath him roared in unison, as if to say, "If you don't behave, I'll give you a good beating."
As the most sought-after beauty and heiress of the Three Great Sage Lands, the Great Slug Sage naturally chose to die rather than submit.
It probably couldn't withstand being beaten to death, with such a terrifying and ugly thing crawling on it and sucking on it.
Unless it's very rich.
No, it should be said that it's only possible if you die.
I, the Great Slug Sage, would rather die than submit!
Ten minutes later.
Gazing at the protein that had completely lost its life force, the Ten-Tails roared, finally able to enjoy this gluttonous feast.
The Katsuyu's support abilities are many times stronger than those of the Toad and the Great Serpent combined.
Conversely, its direct combat capability is almost zero.
Simply accumulating Chakra might scare away mice, but it's really not enough against Kyosuke.
Since the Chakra didn't achieve an overwhelming effect, it meant that it had no resistance whatsoever against Kyosuke.
If I hadn't wanted to see its methods, the entire battle probably wouldn't have lasted even ten minutes.
As for the gains...
Aside from a delicious protein meal, there were no points Points whatsoever.
The reason is simple: Kyosuke killed the Katsuyu clone, at most the larger one.
The system will not award Points unless it is completely eradicated.
"Forget it, one can't be too greedy. I can't force myself to kill the little Katsuyu too."
The battle lasted ten minutes, but the Ten-Tails ate for a full day and night before it could barely swallow its meal.
Meanwhile, Kyosuke lit a campfire nearby, and the sight made him quite hungry.
Mount Myōboku and Shikkotsu Forest are both pristine vegetation ecosystems where you can find almost any edible food.
Its lush greenery once reminded Kyosuke of the abundant Forest of the Land of Fire.
While he was eating, a faint spatial fluctuation suddenly came from afar.
Before they could even check, the intruder had already darted to the campfire.
"No, I'm the intruder," Kyosuke quietly corrected himself.
As for the person in front of him, it was none other than Ōtsutsuki Hamura he had met once on the moon.
The ancestor of the Hyuga Clan, the younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths, and the son of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
Come to think of it, given Kyosuke's relationship with his mother, calling him his nephew shouldn't be too much of an overstatement, right?
During their last meeting, he and Kaguya officially confirmed their relationship.
From this day forward, the two will join hands to face any threat posed by the Ōtsutsuki.
Kyosuke promised to do everything in his power to protect her safety, and Kaguya agreed to protect Konoha and her family while he was away.
She and Mito were already acquainted; the former was engrossed in the delicious treats featuring the Ponytail, while the latter was extremely grateful for Kaguya's gift of the Youth-Preserving Technique.
Otherwise, a woman nearing fifty couldn't possibly look so stunning with Ponytail.
Fortunately, Kyosuke possessed Six Paths Level physique; otherwise, who could withstand the relentless torment of a Kage Level powerhouse day and night?
Sitting down by the campfire, Hamura said expressionlessly, "This isn't the first time we've met."
Yes, that's right.
Why take action against Shikkotsu Forest?
"Please, can we have a more in-depth conversation?"
Taking a deep breath, Ōtsutsuki Hamura said, enunciating each word clearly, "Are you going to be our enemy?"
"Heh." Upon hearing this, Kyosuke immediately laughed, "I vaguely remember that someone tried to take down the village that I built while I was away."
"Does this mean you, the Ninja Sect, are allowed to set fires, but Konoha is not allowed to retaliate? There's no such logic in this world."
"That was all... a misunderstanding." Hamura shook his head, clearly unwilling to continue the topic, "Now that the threat of the Ōtsutsuki has arrived, the Shinobi World should unite to fight against it."
"Alright." Kyosuke nodded in response, "I can overlook your mistakes, brothers. Now, disband the Ninja Sect immediately and help me gain control of the Four Great Nations, and you can join Konoha's highest decision-making body."
"You're being unreasonable!" Hamura was furious; he felt that the man in front of him was deliberately making things difficult for him.
Taking a deep breath, the son of Kaguya issued him an ultimatum. "If you merge Konoha into the Ninja Sect, I can guarantee the safety of your family and friends; otherwise, you will be a stumbling block to the development of the Shinobi World."
Ha, you're quite good at labeling people.
Turning his head to stare at that shameless face, Kyosuke suddenly broke into a bright smile.
The next second, several Black Rods pierced through the enemy without warning.
"What a pity." The sneak attack was successful, but it wasn't hard to see regret in Kyosuke's eyes.
He originally intended to use Isshiki's Dojutsu to achieve a great victory in one fell swoop, not to kill Hamura on the spot, but at least to severely injure him.
Unexpectedly, the original Byakugan inherited from Kaguya was so amazing that it actually foresaw his attack method in advance.
Add to that the intuition of Six Paths Level expert, and hitting the brain and heart may seem easy, but it is actually extremely difficult.
Otherwise, in the original story, Isshiki wouldn't have been forced to the point of exhaustion and death by NaruSasu.
As someone who had personally experienced it, Kyosuke naturally knew how to deal with Sukunahikona.
Seeing that his sneak attack had failed, he simply gave up on petty theft and decided to defeat Hamura head-on with sheer strength.
For so many years, I've always been the one threatening others, but now someone actually dares to spout nonsense in front of me.
If we don't kill him today, people will really think that Uchiha Kyosuke is a kind and benevolent man.
Nine Truth-Seeking Orb appeared, Senjutsu Chakra rapidly gathered within his body, instantly putting Kyosuke into peak battle condition.
Sage Art: Storm Release: Light Fang!
A purple laser, as thick as a forearm, hurtled towards us; its power was enough to instantly vaporize a Truth-Seeking Orb.
If the opponent were to act rashly and attempt to take the hit head-on, at the very least, the man would lose an arm.
At the same time, the Ten-Tails ended its rest and surged back into Kyosuke's body amidst roars.
Its power has been explosively enhanced, and its size has long exceeded one thousand meters. In terms of total Chakra, it is in no way inferior to Kaguya's Complete Form Ten-Tails.
Unfortunately, this level of power was still insufficient to resist the dual seal of the Rinnegan and the Karma.
Six Paths - Ten-Tails Coffin Seal!
As if jelly, Kyosuke absorbed the Ten-Tails into his body, and with Hamura's ugly expression, he punched Hamura's Truth-Seeking Orb, denting it.
